Does this work in OneNote in Win8? How responsive is it?

There is a CD with driver and optional software and the driver must be installed first. My recommendation is to go to the mfg site and download the newest driver (see below) and install it. If the driver installs then the board should work when you get it - and you'll be ahead of the game too. For the most part this is a fancy mouse; you move the pointer by hovering the pen over the board (the pen requires a AAA battery, included). Pressing the stylus to the board is like left-clicking, holding the stylus and moving is "dragging", and clicking the stylus button is like right-clicking. The driver must cache move movements than a mouse driver does; if you've ever tried to write your name with a mouse it's nearly impossible but this works very well for things like that. You can fight over the pointer with the stylus and mouse :) My kids use this with TuxPaint, I use it with PhotoFiltre and it's awesome with RealWorld Paint. Should work with any mouse compatible app. After some research I found the mfg is UC-LOGIC. Download the driver here: http://www.uc-logic.com/en/index.php?ParentMenuID=4

It works. I bought a surface which runs WINDOWS 8 and I use Quicken with that. I don't know if you are familiar with Surface but it is the size of a tablet. Using Quicken on that computer is horrible. The font was way to small (increasing the font made things worst). Also, I continually had problems with Quicken not being able to connect with my financial institutions, or the information being outdated. I finally got so frustrated that I quit using Quicken all together.

I've been using One Note on this tablet and I've been having the documents sync to one drive. I can access those notebooks both on my tablet as well as my PC using windows 7. I'd imagine you could do the same with other documents stored on One Drive as well as dropbox for example.

you need a application, such as Annotation.You can open PDF file on that application and add notes on it.And I believe this device is good enough for taking note.But it's hard to write small size words. And also you need to optimize window system.(you can find how to optimize on forum web sites.

I use it for OneNote on a daily basis, multiple times a day. Works perfectly for my thinkpad yoga which i believe has the same digitizer compatibility

I only used it with windows and was not impressed. I bought it to record law school lectures but the mic on my Surface Pro and speech to text in onenote was a much better (and free) solution

It works on my PC with Windows 7 in One Note, so I don't see why it wouldn't work on the Surface Pro 3's One Note.

Word and OneNote have Android versions, however they are designed for mobile phone use so the screen might adjust weird. There are a ton of plugin's available to view MS files and edit if you just use the free Google Office products. For OneNote this is the blurb from the Microsoft website: Note There is no Mobile Viewer for OneNote. Instead, install the OneNote app for your iPhone or your Android phone. OneNote Mobile is included on Windows Phone 7 and later versions

I'm sorry I don't use Windows 8. But I checked with Windows XP and 7 works very well. Unless MS changed its design, usually it should work well.. This is my other device experience.

The short answer is, SOMETIMES. It's a very touchy program with Windows 8. Very frustrating when it doesn't always work properly. I often regret having wasted my money on it.

Yes, I have a windows 8 computer and it works fine. It's a bit tricky to calibrate and customize the options, unless you make the file clear on where it is. But that is more a Windows 8 problem not the tablet's fault.

I use it on an Asus EP121 and primarily for MS OneNote 2013 and it works fantastic - almost better than the pen that my tablet came with which sadly was eaten by my border collie.

I have an Intuos 3 6x8 tablet, and it works fine on both my Windows XP desktop and on my Vista laptop. It initially wasn't configured properly to the Vista, but I just re-installed the driver and now I can switch it between the two computers with no trouble at all. The Intuos is great; I have never had so much as a hiccup from it, it fits neatly into a laptop case, and it's a really delightful tool to work with. Highly recommended!

Offhand (I don't use Windows 8.x) I don't see why it shouldn't work, albeit w/some limitations. I use it in Win7 without any problems in normal use, but it notifies you during installation of certain limitations with some database features (crosstabs, I think). I have encountered some problems with cutting and pasting text from certain webpages, which I then turn to Open Office instead. Overall, however, word processing and spreadsheet work is all I need and 95% of the time it is ideal.

That will depend on the Operating System you use. Windows 8.1 is a little better at forcing scaling then windows 8. As long as the Appliaction uses the correct rendering systems for its font it will be fine. I also run linux on the ATIV Book 9 Plus and it scales everything correctly 99% of the time. There are a few app's like Chrome that insist on doing their own thing, but for the most part it works better then windows

I use it for Windows 8.1 and it works with one strange exception: in one of my games I have to press occasionally 'b' together with the up arrow and that doesn't work. But for the usual keyboard activities it works very well.
